Have you heard the buzz about Red Light therapy? It can be used to treat many different issues, but I am going to focus on the incredible anti-aging benefits it has for your skin.

Red Light Therapy combines red and infrared light. So, what does that mean? Obviously light is not a new technology. I will get a little scientific so bear with me. Infrared is the level of light below red in the spectrum and is invisible to the human eye. It was discovered in the early 19^th century. Red light is a visible light in the spectrum and has shorter wavelengths than infrared. Because of the two different wave lengths, they penetrate your skin at different levels and combined, they are a skin rejuvenating powerhouse.

NASA started using red light therapy in space to grow plants and then to heal astronauts’ wounds. Moving on the beauty industry, red and infrared light, used as a team, will boost elastin, accelerate the growth of healthy skin and produce more collagen, which in turn, reduces lines and wrinkles. The infrared light penetrates below the dermis and stimulates collagen production and essentially pushes the wrinkles up for smoother skin!

Other benefits:

Red light therapy is completely non-invasive. It does NOT contain UV light so it will NOT damage the DNA in your skin.

Due to the use of LEDs (Light emitting diodes) the therapy is heatless

The red light stimulates the surface blood flow and increases the effectiveness of topicals used after the therapy

While, there are centers that offer the Red Light therapy, they are expensive and are not the comfort of your own home. The product that I use and recommend is the LED Red and Infrared mask from Retro Co. It is FDA cleared to remove wrinkles and is approved for home use. It is a UV-free technology using red and infrared LEDs. Because Retro Co is so confident in their products, they offer a 60 day love it guarantee. They offer a full size, L.E.D. Fast Facial Mask (my favorite) as well as an , which focuses more on your forehead and the space between your eyebrows.

It has been a mission this past year to use fewer toxic products in my home. Most of this task has been fairly easy and I will share some of these transitions with you in a later blog. One area where I have struggled has been my haircare. I have thick, course, frizzy, curly hair that is hard to control. The products I have used over the past few years work well but I know that they rank pretty bad on the EWG scale. Needless to say, I was super excited for Retro to release their line of haircare products.

All of their topicals are rated 1-2 on the EWG scale and have been developed over years. The most exciting part of the development is that the topicals are combined with FDA-cleared technology resulting in the greatest improvements for problem areas.

The FDA-cleared laser helmet is clinically proven to increase hair density. Can you believe these results from 4 months of usage? (3 times a week for 20 minutes). Luckily, my hair is pretty thick. I do have a little thinning around my part and where I pull my hair back to my signature messy bun. Can you picture me wearing the helmet while I write my blog? That is exactly what I will be doing.

The next incredible product is the Revive Botanical Oil Serum. This uses the purest form of coconut oil and aloe to stimulate hair growth from the outside in. Brace yourself…the coconut oil is not from any coconut. This is a rare One-Eyed Virgin coconut from the Philippines. Don’t worry, it is being responsibly sourced. In a clinical study, after 7 weeks, over 80% of users saw improvement in both texture and density.

Can you imagine combining these two super powers?

Now let’s talk about shampoo and conditioner. Of course, they are a cleaner, greener and healthier approach to haircare free of parabens and sulfates. The two formulas, powered by Redensyl, are available in scented and unscented!!! Redensyl is a proven botanical complex that targets hair follicle stem cells to strengthen and improve hair growth. The RISE combination helps with hair density and strengthens each strand of hair. SHINE (what I use) gives the moisture hair needs to be shiny by using Bamboo Oil Extract while the Redensyl maximizes new hair growth.

These products are a game changer for men and women with thinning hair at a fraction of the cost of alternative, invasive treatments. Best of all, the products are safe as well as being effective.

My family has a history of male pattered baldness and I know that my boys will never have to give a future of a bald head a second thought.

What product are you most excited about?
